One-Star Cookbooks

Deliveroo's Cookbook Shares Dishes Inspired by Low Reviews

Food that's ordered for delivery needs to arrive in tact so that it can be properly enjoyed and Deliveroo's One-Star Cookbook drives home this message. This unconventional cookbook features dishes inspired by online one-star reviews from deliveries that didn't live up to the experiences customers were hoping for. Featuring dishes that are incomplete, dropped, smashed or otherwise nightmarish, the cookbook highlights lackluster food as a result of unsatisfactory delivery services.

The cookbook is available online on a first-come, first-serve basis and it makes Deliveroo's stance on quality experiences apparent. Each dish was designed and written in the cookbook with the same regard as any high-end cookbook and can be recreated with the disastrous delivery mistake. Featured in the cookbook are recipes like Indonesian Rendang with Forgotten Rice and Rucksack Shaken Cod a la Francais Served Swimming in a Bag.
